Combine all ingredients in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry cutter until mixture is ‘mealy’. 
By hand, mix until you get a lump like pie pastry. Press flat in ungreased 9”x9” pan, about ˝ inch thick. 
Prick all over with a fork, through to the bottom. Bake in preheated 300 F. oven for 45-50 minutes, 
until set and a very pale gold color. Cut while warm into desired sizes/shapes.
